08/29/11

Welcome regulars & those of you that have recently 'liked' my Fan Page!

This week is going to be nuts! So, apologies if this seems a little brief.

Though a bit behind schedule, I still finished tracking vocals for the new CD ahead the forecast and I've got my Pro Tools rig set up on the bar in the kitchen doing my editing work. I'm getting close to being brain-dead, but I'm starting to see a little light at the end of the tunnel.

The new EP, Whistle When We Break Down, is being mixed by Grant Mohrman (Celldweller, Filter, Republica) at the Method House in Detroit. I'm pretty hyped about this. I've worked with Grant in the past & he's great at making my tunes go boom.

The plan is to have everything finished & shipped out to him by the end of the week. I should be able to give some audio/artwork teasers in September.

If you stopped by last week, you may be wondering how the session with Brandon 50/50 Reed went. Well, we couldn't get our schedules to line up, but it's going to happen eventually! Apologies for the bummer.

I did make it out to the Six Dollar Suit/Future Rock show at the Lafayette Theater last Thursday. Both acts tore it up! Musically, both groups have a drums/bass/synth approach with little or no vocals and, man, is it driving. I'm not a dancer, but I thought about it. :-)

Chris June IND drummer Chris Parker filled in for Six Dollar Suit's set & killed it!

Speaking of Chris, Drew & I will be linking up with him voltron-style for some intense jamming this week to continue getting the show ready. As stated in previous posts, Chris June IND will be gigging in mid/late October. Don't forget to send me referrals for cool clubs in your area, we'd love to come closer to you!

Did you see the Chris June IND story in the Journal & Courier last week? It's great to get the extra hook-up for my sponsors! Thanks again to Artisan Electric, DropYa Fightwear, Image Source Photographic, Lafayette Speaker Repair, People's Brewing Company, Rhodes Amplification, Sacred Apple, Sound Logic, & Willow Stained Glass for backing me up!!

That concludes the weekly update, I'm off to finish editing tracks. Thanks for stopping by!

Over and out.
